Sign-Up- Sometimes When you Manage, You're Crap

Taking the idea from Whoopy and his famous ...It Really Could Be You....Who's Crap! I've decided to do a similar sign-up where instead of players we create....Managers!

All the managers will be assigned the same CA and a random PA to be revealed once their career is finished or at a point that I decide. During this time I'll monitor all the managers closely keeping track of the great achievements that you will all hopefully reach!

Because I would like some movement of managers between different leagues I will be giving everyone each nationality of the leagues loaded. You will all start at a random team. To give each manager a little individuality you will all be allowed to choose an "Elite Attribute" which will be set to the max or the min depending on the attribute. The list of allowed attributes are below:

Ash Wilkes begins his managing career with Banat who have given the young and talented manager a 5 year contract at £950/wk. His assitant is saying that Ash can be confident in getting what's expected from his players, but notes that they are weakest in goal and should look to replace their current keeper.

Mike Hill begins his managing career with Adelaide United who have given the young and talented manager a 3 year contract at £2500/wk. His assitant is saying that Mike can be confident in getting what's expected from his players and loves the look of the team not suggesting any changes.

Blue Bird begins his managing career with Chamois Niortais who have given the unknown manager a 5 year contract at £1300/wk. His assitant is saying that Blue can be confident in getting what's expected from his players, but notes that they are weakest in central defence and should look to address this.

Charles Beams begins his managing career with Rayo who have given the young and talented manager a 3 year contract at £675/wk. His assitant is saying that Charles can be confident in getting what's expected from his players, but notes that they are weakest in defence where a whole new back line would definitely be a plus.

Tom Hamiltonbegins his managing career with Cartagena who have given the unknown manager a 3 year contract at £625/wk. His assitant is saying that Tom can be confident in getting what's expected from his players but could also use wingers on either side of the pitch to strengthen his attacks.

Dario Canvey begins his managing career with Sandhausen who have given the very loyal manager a month to month contract at £0/wk. His assitant is saying that Dario can be confident in getting what's expected from his players, but notes that they are weakest in central defence and should look to address this.

Dave Lister begins his managing career with Nacional da Madeira who have given the young and talented manager a 5 year contract at £3500/wk. His assitant is saying that there is no adequate cover in goal and this must be addressed for any sort of success to be reached. To a lesser extent a right winger could be useful.

Super Lampard begins his managing career with Hummel who have given the young and talented manager a 4 year contract at £210/wk. His assitant is concerned that if any injury were to occur to their starting keeper there would be no backup to be confident in.

Alex Parker begins his managing career with Orduspor who have given the young and talented manager a 3 year contract at £300/wk. His assitant is saying that Dario can be confident in getting what's expected from his players, but notes that they are weakest in defence where a new back line would be beneficial.

Sid Venk begins his managing career with Puertollano who have given the balanced manager a 5 year contract at £325/wk. His assitant is pleased with the squad and thinks they should achieve their expectations. The only thing really needed would be a centre-back.

Alex McIntyre begins his managing career with Sátão who have given the young and talented manager a 5 year contract at £120/wk. His assitant says that the squad needs a major overhaul if anything is to be salvaged from this season. Most of these changes are needed on the defensive side of the ball.

Aleksander Radakovic II begins his managing career with Inegölspor who have given the outspoken manager a 5 year contract at £85/wk. His assitant is saying that Aleksander will have to heavily strengthen the squad to meet expectations this season, and that the depth just isn't there.

Brian Mercury begins his managing career with Gyeongnam who have given the young and talented manager a 5 year contract at £850/wk. His assitant is pleased with the squad and thinks they should achieve their expectations. The only position that could be improved is in goal.

Tom Smith begins his managing career with Olbia who have given the outspoken manager a 5 year contract at £325/wk. His assitant says that there is no adequate cover at goalkeeper and if a long-term injury strikes there will be a big problem.

Matt Kirkinho begins his managing career with T. Reynosa who have given the young and talented manager a 5 year contract at £1,100/wk. His assitant is saying that he likes the squad depth and besides signing a right winger there won't need to be many changes.

Liam Ferguson begins his managing career with Antalyaspor who have given the balanced manager a 5 year contract at £1,000/wk. His assitant is pleased with the squad and thinks they should achieve their expectations. They would do well to bring in some new faces in the midfield though.

Tyler Burrows begins his managing career with Cukaricki who have given the unknown manager a 5 year contract at £725/wk. His assitant believes the squad will do well realizing their expectations as long as a move for a new GK is made.

Eric Davis begins his managing career with América (SE) who have given the young and talented manager a 4 year contract at £140/wk. His assitant is saying that he likes the squad depth and all that he would invest in is a new left-back.

Kaiji begins his managing career with Tigre who have given the young and talented manager a 4 year contract at £950/wk. His assitant is pleased with the squad and thinks they should achieve their expectations. His recommendation would be to pick up some new full-backs which currently hinder the squad.

Sergio Marbus begins his managing career with Rio Claro who have given the determined manager a 4 year contract at £140/wk. His assitant believes the squad will do well realizing their expectations as long as a move for a new right-back is made.

Cerneo begins his managing career with Penalva Castelo who have given the young and talented manager a 5 year contract at £90/wk. His assitant is not confident that the team will be able to meet expectations this season as is in particular he sees a major hole at centre-back.

Joe Tompkins begins his managing career with Adanaspor who have given the young and talented manager a 3 year contract at £150/wk. His assitant thinks there is no way expectations can be met unless a major overhaul of the defence is done this season.

Ben Craig begins his managing career with Girona who have given the balanced manager a 4 year contract at £220/wk. His assitant believes the squad looks pretty good, his only recommendation would be to shore up the left wing position.

Jack Birkinshaw begins his managing career with Jaén who have given the balanced manager a 3 year contract at £525/wk. His assitant has noted that there is a massive hole at the goalkeeping position something will need to be done here in order to have any sort of success.

Re: Sign-Up- Sometimes When you Manage, You're Crap

I will always give whatever screens anybody wants to see with their team except for their manager. Don't worry I'll be taking them and showing them to you all later. Tables for all leagues/cups that each person is in will always be shown when there's activity. Major transfers will be shown, I'm just debating as to whether I should show the starting 11 for each team before we get going.

(For those of you who have never used Genie Scout before...is there any? The numbers indicate their ability in the position)

If anyone wants screenshots of any players and what not along the line feel free to ask. I think with this I will start moving the game along.

We start Dec 25, 2006....and in general I'm going to do one of these style updates on the Jan 1 Update each year. Each month I'll write about your transfers, various goings ons, give you screenshots of your teams stats, show your manager win loss record, trophies, you know all that fun stuff!

Good luck everyone and hopefully it is for once you and not I who will be crap!

Re: Sign-Up- Sometimes When you Manage, You're Crap

Inegölspor is an interesting selection, mid table of Turkey's second division is not the best place to start, but if we can manage a promotion surely I will get noticed, or someone will see me serving a suspension for questioning the red card. I must say my squad is pretty poor though.

Re: Sign-Up- Sometimes When you Manage, You're Crap

Throw ins are important to me, it seems. Two decent signings, not sure about the outgoing transfers and from where cover will come. I am the only one in Germany so I won't have to feel like I am losing all the time!

Re: Sign-Up- Sometimes When you Manage, You're Crap

Remember you guys made these guys the key signings all I've done is placed anybody whom the teams thought were first team or indispensible. Pretty crazy how many deals are coming in within one team, it will soon be seen how teams like Inegolspor & Hummel deal with having 7 and 8 new first teamers respectively.

Re: Sign-Up- Sometimes When you Manage, You're Crap

A good start for Eric Davis thus far 3 straight wins, Sergio Marbus not quite as lucky but also is in a harder state group as well. Other than that lots of transfers and managers waiting to see how some of their bold moves pay off.

The troubles continue for Rio Claro who have been allowing far to many goals this season. Marbus and crew must be hoping that more than 1 win can come from next months action to take them out of the relegation spots.
